BGians
I was in BG today and enjoyed a nice stroll while trying to find nice places for us to hide from if it rains.
There are a couple of nice sheltered gazebos of different sizes scattered throughout the place and the 2 better and bigger ones are located at the top of the basement foodcourt (bigger than the other one) and opposite Swan Lake (better view, with six benches each able to sit 3 reasonably sized adults). Took a couple of photos but will need <font color="0000ff">Doreen</font> help to post here
The link shows the detailed map of the gardens ground:

We can use this to ascertain where to meet.
Another potential issue is if the gazebo we would like to meet at is taken by others. Do we kinda share or do we, like my hubby suggest, tell people "this is a private function" (post signs)? I am afriad if we do this, the park's officers may come as I doubt one can book a gazebo. Another way is to tie lots of balloons around the gazebo, one for ease of recognition by us and two, to let others know not to kar jiao (disturb). HOWEVER, we then need someone who can go earlier than suggested meeting time to do so as we will prob have to, as I have seen today, "fight" with the maids for the space.
How many people do we have in total? To use the Gardens' Premises, written approval is required to be obtained for organised activites which involve groups above 30. Applications have to be submitted at least 7 days prior to the proposed use.
The other option is to spend the money and rent a function room, it can accommodate up to 80 people seated or a 200 free-standing crowd. I can check how much it cost via email or phone call tomorrow.
Does this make sense?
